Cooking, Syrups and Teas!
Monday, March 10
9:00 am -12:00 pm
12:45 - 3:45 pm
When you think of farming, children may only think of the fruits and vegetables that grow close to the ground and not the tall, quiet trees of surrounding forests. Children will soon discover how sap (or even bark) from some of these trees is turned into sweet syrup and the needles and bark of other trees make a soothing tea, all knowledge passed down by the indigenous people that first lived on these lands. During this day, children will learn the process of maple sugaring and making teas, harvesting, boiling, and tasting throughout. They will also listen to stories, play spring games, and take home a project to remember their experience..

The early spring woods are - alive with sounds, sights, smells, and textures that will thrill children as they explore the many trails surrounding the farm, crossing brooks and marshes and passing other fascinating areas.

Compost Creatures
Wednesday, March 12
9:00 am - 12:00 pm
12:45 - 3:45 pm
Tiny creatures have been hard at work all winter long!
Children will have fun learning about these little critters (and see what new friends are emerging in spring) that turn garbage into 'gold,' nurturing our soil, and helping our crops to grow. They will dig in and sift through looking for life, eyes wide with amazement with each discovery and even by the heat that these decomposers create as they work. And not only is this life in the farm’s compost piles but also in the woods. Children will also listen to stories, play spring games, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Children will also listen to stories, play spring games, and take home a project to remember their experiences.

Wednesday, March 19
12:45 - 3:45 pm
Our farm animals are full of energy during the promise of early spring. Though there still may be a chill in the air, what warms these animals the most is having children visit and help take care of them. And there are many other animals to discover in the habitats around us, playing in the fresh air or simply looking for food among the budding plants and signs of new green. The joy of these visits and the discovery of scurrying, bounding, flitting, and soaring wildlife (or the tracks they left behind) will fill this spring morning at the farm. Children will also listen to stories, play games, and take home a project to remember their experience.
